We spent three days on issues that were peripheral,” Monama said. “The investigation is whether the state proves its case of murder. The reason I am raising this is because we must remain focused on the essence.

Mpumalanga MEC in court for double murder of ANC membersA Mpumalanga MEC accused of double murder says he was buying meat when two members of the ANC were gunned down outside a popular drinking spot in Mbombela.
